1994 Toyota Estima Emina Turbo Diesel 5-speed 4WD (USA Import) Japan Auction Purchase Review

[@krrk6337]

Toyota in the 90s was way ahead of the game.

[@MiloYellowknee]

We had a previa. The ‘eggvan’ we called it. Great road trip machine and the engine location was great for winter heat and driving!!!!

[@co_nut_co_nut]

Early Also what a coincidence,Tyler Hoover (Hoovies Garage) just did a video of him purchasing a Toyota Previa of this generation

[@aaronbays4]

I'd much rather have Hoovie's van. No sunroofs to leak, no impossible to find diesel engine parts. Plus its wider/bigger, steering wheel on the correct side.

[@octiviancastle6245]

@@aaronbays4 its the first time i hear a Japanese sunroof leak i have seen it on German cars but not Japanese i my self have an Elgrand e51 and a 1991 tcr11 previa and they both never leaked from the sunroofs

Derek use please Russian from.ru catalog Emina never got supercharger instead previa never had diesel but both versions sold in Japan 🇯🇵 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIWtY5Roraydo8U

[@aaronbays4]

That's the "Princess" sunroof option on that van. Buddy had a cream white 1961ish Rolls Royce Silver Cloud years ago as a "for hire" car, mainly for weddings. It had a HUGE aftermarket sunroof installed on it, one of those vinyl cloth type sunroofs. Joke was the Princess could stand up in the back seat and wave to the crowd thru the sunroof during a parade.

[@subspaceanomaly]

I tried that in this yesterday, just got one and had a friend drive so I could stand up out the roof with another friend, it was great!

Need a video on that X110 Mark II on your other channel if not on this one. Love those cars.

This is totally a hipster vehicle and that's not derogatory. The only car with more hipster cachet might be a Citroën GS Birotor or a North Korean limousine that runs on wood gas

[@air402]

Wonder what is average cost

[@aRustyPatina]

What would one expect to spend for this exact type diesel, 5 spd “Previa” to the US? Thanks!!

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

Depending from condition

[@aRustyPatina]

Can you reveal the price of this particular vehicle. This is what I’m hoping to acquire once I sell a couple of projects and would like a target number. Thanks.

[@SakurauchiLily]

The reason why Toyota decided to make a narrower version of the Estima was so that it would fit into a lower tax bracket. Because cars in Japan are taxed based on size owners of the Emina and the related Lucida would pay less tax than if they had a regular Estima.

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Good idea but not correct. The classes of passenger vehicles is only based on size for the kei cars (660cc with length, width, and height limits). Passenger cars are otherwise sorted via engine size only. Taxes are based on engine size and weight. I suppose a thinner version would weight less and therefore be less costly for taxes... but at the current tax rates, that would be about $10 per year so probably not the reason. I suspect it's done as a way to fill holes in the market by selling a slightly down-market version.

[@SakurauchiLily]

I just checked Wikipedia and apparently, the engine displacement tax used to be accompanied by a similar tax on dimensions. That dimension tax seems to no longer be in use, but it seems that this was the case during the 1990's, when the first generation Estima was in production. Similarly to this, 2.0-litre A70 Supras were fitted with narrower fenders than their larger engined counterparts so that they would not only fit into a lower tax bracket for engine size, but also regarding dimensions. Though since the dimension tax is no longer in use, you were right about the present day taxing system.

[@subspaceanomaly]

@@jeffvaljean6030 well, it's my new car and I love it so hopefully it won't die too soon. My logic is it's nearly thirty years old at 260k and passed its mot on Thursday with no adviseries, engine has been reconditioned in the last couple of years, so I'm assuming it will just keep going. Fingers crossed. I just really like the design
